Forecasts

Protektorat (5/2), Fanfan Du Seuil (11/4), Katpoli (3/1), Nelson River (6/1), Fret D'Estruval (6/1), Swordbill (25/1), Ghost Serge (33/1)

Fanfan Du Seuil sets a fair standard, but in Protektorat and FRET D'ESTRUVAL he faces a couple of other French imports who could be well above average. The selection represents owners who always have a strong hand in the juvenile department and can make a winning debut on English turf. The others are respected, but probably need to improve on what they have achieved so far.
